Voters only wanted MAGA lite

What are poll shoes? Do they make your feet hurt? For people with bunions?

They fit 60% of voters' feet.

You're right, and hopefully, he will improve the average Joe American's life, making life better for everyone, not just the wealthy.

If Trump does improve the lives of the American People, will you support him?

 

[DonGlock26]

Well yes, firing everybody that didn't pass his loyalty test was one of his major claims. He even has a list of some that will be passed by for employment. Anybody who even worked with those he considered to be his opponents need not apply.

"Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday dismissed any comparison between the firing last fall of eight U.S. attorneys with the replacement of 93 U.S. attorneys when her husband became president in 1993.

"That's a traditional prerogative of an incoming president," Clinton said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Once U.S. attorneys are confirmed, they should be given broad latitude to enforce the law as they see fit, she said.

"I think one of the hallmarks of our democracy is we have a devotion to the rule of law," Clinton said.

She conceded that should she win the presidency in 2008, she likely would replace all of the U.S. attorneys appointed by President Bush. She said that's merely following traditions in which presidents appoint prosecutors of their own party."

Army? How about South American gangs...people on the terror watch list...thousands of Chinese spies...murderers...rapists...and convicted criminals? Biden's open border policy has left America citizens vulnerable to all of the above. The bill that was killed would have simply brought them in quicker. You on the left OWN the border crisis, IM2 and it's now up to us to try and fix what you've screwed up!

There are no open borders unless you count the northern one. We have bigger problems domestically with these things you mention. The border bill was created by a conservative and was supported by the border patrol agents. If you only read that right-wing crap, you are reading lies.

The poll shoes that replacing thousands of civil service workers with those loyal to trump is not what they wanted. Likewise, ending the Education department and superseding Congress to give the president more control over spending was opposed by the majority of respondents.

Thread fail.

Trump has said he would like to get rid of useless government beuracrats, but I have yet to see him say he wants to replace them with anyone.

That's not going to happen. He didn't do it last time. He inherited a growing economy from Obama that you guys gave him credit for. He's going to inherit a growing economy from Biden that you will give him credit for. He is going to dismantle it and you think that's great. You guys ignore his failure during a major crisis and given the current state of the world, you and others like you have put this country in a bad position.

I'm afraid it's too late to nip the idea of a mandate in the bud. Once it crossed Baby Donald's lying lips it immediately became Repub orthodoxy. But perhaps it's time to take a dispassionate look at the pure numbers.

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud

Remember the “big lie”? In 2020, Donald Trump lost the presidential election so Republicans just brazenly lied and insisted he won. In 2024, we have a new post-election lie from the Republican party. Trump didn’t just win, they say, but he won big. He won a landslide. He won an historic mandate for his “Maga” agenda.

And it was Trump himself, of course, on election night, who was the first to push this grandiose and self-serving falsehood, calling his win “a political victory that our country has never seen before” and claiming “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate”. Republican politicians, masters of message discipline, quickly followed suit. The representative Elise Stefanik called his win a “historic landslide” while the senator John Barrasso called Trump’s a “huge landslide”. “On November 5 voters decisively elected Donald Trump with a mandate for sweeping change, and they deserve to get it,” wrote the “Doge” co-heads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in the Wall Street Journal on 20 November.

None of this is true. Yes, Trump won the popular vote and the electoral college. Yes, Republicans won the Senate and the House. But, contrary to both Republican talking points and breathless headlines and hot takes from leading media outlets (“resounding”, “rout”, “runaway win”), there was really nothing at all historic or huge about the margin of victory.

By the way, did you know that Trump won the crucial blue wall states - Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency!

Exaggerating the size of a president’s victory is not new. After George W. Bush won re-election in 2004, for instance, he bragged about spending his new “political capital.” But this time, the scale of the hyperbole is classically Trumpian. As much as Republicans want to throw around words such as “landslide” and “mandate,” 2024 was one of the closest elections in American history. Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris in the popular vote by less than 1.5%; only one election in the last half-century (in 2000) was closer. And the razor-thin margins by which Republicans control both the House and the Senate testify to how closely the electorate is divided.

Still, most new presidents typically enjoy a honeymoon period: Fresh from their election victory, the public invests them with hopes for positive change and gives them the benefit of the doubt. Joe Biden, for instance, had 57% approval in the first Gallup poll of his presidency; Barack Obama came in at 67% approval. Even Bush, who like Trump lost the popular vote in his first victory, started at 57%. In fact, Trump was the only president in the Gallup poll’s history — going all the way back to Harry Truman — who entered office with an approval rating under 50%. He was also the only one to never crack 50% approval for a single day of an entire term.

On the verge of his second term, even after his first popular vote victory in three tries, Trump’s approval is weak. A new Marist/NPR poll puts it at just 44%; 49% say they disapprove of him. The Economist/YouGov poll gives him a similar 45/51 split, while a USA Today/Suffolk University survey has his favorability/unfavorability at 47% each.

Opinion | Republicans insist that Trump is hugely popular. His approval ratings say otherwise.

New surveys suggest he’ll face the same widespread public opposition in his second term that he faced in his first.

You thought Kamala would win, so, your opinion on what you think the voters want is irrelevant....

Why did 90 million not vote?

 

[Blisterfinger]

He's wealthy and everything you said but he's not a capitalist. Being wealthy doesn't automatically, by default, make someone a capitalist. Trump is a capitalist, and the policies that he supports might advance corporate vested interest, to the detriment of the working class.

I never said Biden was a capitalist. He's more like a dishonest narcissist. Trump did well for the working people, Biden just fostered distrust and Division. He also lied ALOT.

That is what he did last time, we might as well expect it this time

He promised to do all of those things. Many times.

And Biden promised to do things he never did, as did Obama and all the other elected Presidents.
